according to the USTA’s Official Rules of Tennis and the ITF rulebook, a vibration-damping device “may only be placed outside the pattern of the crossed strings” (Rule 4, Case 3).
So, let me get this right. I am not allowed to place my dampener one string inside the string bed, but am allowed to use a dampener which is as large as the lowest string, and place it there?
I put my dampener in the illegal place and no care where I put it. Ironically, I play better tennis by putting my dampener in this spot, and even though I do get caught, they don't care.
You never said what action is to be taken for this ILLEGALness, which is: correct immediately, no penalty. Maybe an idea for another video would be a deep dive into why tennis was considered a "gentleman's sport", and why and how it has strayed so far from that ideal that maybe never was. (On the upside, at least our sport doesn't have a Patrick Reed).
interesting video idea. The whole culture around tennis is quite fascinating. Probably a topic that would get addressed on our partner channel, The Slice Tennis News.
You could have said that in 2 seconds, not create a 2min+ video and waste peoples' time as well as your own creating the video, editing it, uploading it etc etc. Use your time more constructively!
it's just a 2 minute video, do you have adhd or something? He gave the crucial explanation before the 1 minute mark, and followed it up with some interesting examples of where you can technically put it, according to the rules. Also who are the hell are you to tell someone how to use their time?
Someone call the tennis police

I will keep making videos if you keep watching them! Thanks for the kindness!

Thank you for your video. But why it is illegal ?
I'm assuming, same reason spaghetti stringing is banned?
what's that?@@minboogie
Pls can u tell me the name of this dampener?
I am not sure, but really looks like the Tourna Pete Sampras dampener. Hope this helps.
What about two dampeners?
totally legal
But why is it illegal?
He should have mentioned in the video, otherwise it's just like this -> Source: Trust me bro
He actually said that when the ball hits the dampener it bounces unpredictably, which I guess may not be fair to the opponent
Nobody cares at recreational level.

No one cares.

On the other hand, you could've just said thanks..

Just say thanks!
Wondering what is the benefit to put a dampener in the illegal places that you mentioned.
